Vietnam isn’t a world-famous dive location, and fair enough. However, it’s nowhere near as bad as some snobby divers make it out to be, and is definitely worth a look if you are passing through.

My advice: don’t avoid the diving.

I know, it sounds like a really weak advertisement for Vietnam, and I don’t mean it to sound that way. After 800+ dives, I’ve seen some really good and some really bad dive sites. As I think back to where it all started, I have no regrets about starting my diving there. And Vietnam is a simply lovely country to spend some time in.
